Pi[es could be gas line as the areas up there were known for gas wells, oil wells and lumbering. The tornado also took down the B&O RR/ Pennsylvania Railroads Kenua Trestle up north as the 66 Trail north of U.S. 322 with the Baker Trail and North Country Trails all interlock near that area. While you're in the area also look up Pittsburgh to Erie Trail, and others that are part of the historic parts of our state and nation that will connect to connect to the Great Allegheny Passage and Chesapeake & Ohio Canal that leaves Pittsburg now Pittsburgh that leads to Washington D.C. Red Bank Creek Trail is also closer to Pittsburgh off the Allegheny Valley Railroad that leads to Brookville.
